An adventure around every corner

Heard of a little thing called the Great Barrier Reef? Larger than the United Kingdom, Switzerland and Holland combined, millions travel to Queensland every year to holiday here. Whether you’re travelling solo, as a couple or family, there are are plenty of ways to make a splash and experience the Reef. And the best part is, you don’t even have to get underwater to see it.  

Take your pick from the 900 islands dotted along Queensland’s coastline. Step off the shore and snorkel the colourful fringing reef, spot marine life from a glass-bottomed boat, or drink in the views as you dine at sunset. 

Want to catch a wave? There’s no shortage of beaches for you to sink your toes into. More than just a pretty place to take a photo, each offers something different. There are world surf reserves along the Sunshine Coast and Gold Coast, sandy patches that turtles call home, and stretches like Whitehaven and Nudey renowned for their phenomenal beauty.  

A place as diverse as Queensland isn’t home to one city, but many. From the energetic capital of Brisbane, to the Gold Coast’s laidback essence and the World Heritage-listed wonders in Cairns, each city offers something different and is ready to welcome you. 

Escape the buzz of the city for the calm of the wide, open spaces of the Outback and Country. Wear your best Akubra and head west to experience the Australian Outback in real life. You can choose reconnect with nature in as many ways as you have days on the itinerary.
